Robokiller, an app dedicated to combating these calls, recently released its 2022 Mid-Year Phone Scam Report, detailing how prevalent this problem really is.

According to the report, Americans have already received an estimated 40 billion spam calls between Jan. and June 2022 alone. It’s projected that by the end of this year, these robocalls will reach a height of over 86 billion—a 19 percent increase from the year prior.

With unwanted calls and robocalls, it’s often a scammer on the other end of the line, according to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Robokiller’s report has found that Americans have already lost an estimated $30 billion to spam call scams from January to June of this year—which is the same amount that was lost from these schemes in all of 2021. By the end of 2022, Americans are projected to lose around $59 billion to robocall scams, per Robokiller.
